Michael Rossitto

Ryan Bambrick raised to 12,000 from middle position and Michael Rossitto three-bet shoved all in for 54,000. Action folded back to Bambrick, who called.

Rossitto showed 9h9s and was in trouble against Bambrick’s TsTc.

The flop was 5c3c2h, keeping Bambrick in the lead, but the 9c came on the turn, giving Rossitto the best hand with a set of nines.

Bambrick needed a 10 or a club to knock out Rossitto, but the Jh came on the river and Rossitto doubled up.

Rossitto is a fresh off of a third-place finish in last night’s $1,100 no-limit hold’em six-max and is on the verge of another cash in this event.

Michael Rossitto – 121,000
Ryan Bambrick – 85,000
